De petit, en Jacob Portman tenia un lligam molt especial amb el seu avi, que li explicava histories extravagants i li ensenyava fotografies estranyes de nens invisibles i nenes que levitaven. Ara, als setze anys, en Jacob treballa en un supermercat de la familia, i passa les hores amb el seu millor amic, amb qui no s'acaba d'entendre del tot. Un dia, rep una trucada del seu avi, que esta començant a perdre el cap, i decideix sortir de la feina i correr a visitar-lo, pero arriba tard. Quan el vell se li mor als braços, el noi cau en una depressio terrible. Pero lavi no lha deixat sol del tot: aviat trobara una carta misteriosa que el portara fins a una illa perduda de Galles, en un viatge que li canviara la vida per sempre i li mostrara fins a quin punt eren certes les histories estrafolaries que sentia quan era petit. La llar de Miss Peregrine per a nens peculiars es una historia plena d'intriga en la qual lluiten nens amb poders sobrenaturals i monstres terrorifics; una fantasia terrible, il·lustrada amb fotografies antigues, que seduira tant els lectors joves com els adults.
